It certainly helps to see where youve sprayed Neil! as for the depth it does give different effects depending how thinly its coated . One of the main reasons I did it was so the panel lines would maybe stand out a bit more , as I didnt rescribe them , we'll have to wait and see if it works! cheers tony

That looks very shiny my precious

That's a very nice finish you've got there Tony - spraying metallics is not something I've ever been successful with

Cheers patrick , these modelair metallics seem to suit me , i used to dread nmf too , but these are quite painless -as long as you leave them enough time to dry theyre fairly robust , cheers tony

Hmm but how would I live it down if Laurie discovered I'd used a Vallejo product!

Well its still here! at least its got a bit of colour on now , Ive been leaving it as long as I can to let the paint harden fully . Next steps are all the different shades to be added ,im dreading this bit!

Looking good Tony.

That looks great. I've always thought the Germans were great Engineers, but the Americans certainly built some interesting aircraft as well.

Well after getting the basic silver on this ones been sat in the corner frightening me ! But after seeing Jasons (wendall) superb Lightning it inspired me to grasp the nettle and start the tricky masking and spraying of the different shaded panels. I started with the engine pods as these have a few different shades , and gave the panels various gunmetal shades followed by a misting of brown and further mists with transparent blue mixed with gunmetal. I'm quite happy with the way its turned out , next is the different shades on the airframe , and theres lots ! cheers tony

Awesome work on those engines Tony

I'll have to hide that Lightning in shame. That looks absolutely fantastic mate.

Well ive made a start on the myriad different shaded panels . One of the most noticeable and thus the first to be tackled was the two light grey/silver areas on the raised bits on the wing top . Next i did the ailerons and rudder in a darker shade of silver but its dried a very subtle shade , not easily seen. Theres loads more to do so more updates as they get done , cheers tony[ATTACH]117704.IPB[/ATTACH]
